Maybe Kyle's seat post slipped or something? I can't explain how that is vaguely comfortable

I think you are ignoring Emma Pallants valiant submission in the wrong saddle category.

Maybe i should raise my seat. Is anyone here really qualified to critique Lucy's fit? 4:38, beats the old course record and held on to second on the run?

The Slowtwitch delusion is strong here.

What qualifies someone for the 'wrong saddle' award?

You made two references to road bikes however each athlete is aboard a tri bike.

Kyle B has the ugliest bike of the lot shared. The argon 18 was funcky cool.

And the shiv made a mess of the rear storage lid on charles.

I think you're seeing the end of her cranks masquerading as a blocky nose on the pedal.
Probably short cranks, same crank arm as a longer one but drilled closer to the axle, so it's got a longer tip.

Nothing screams $14k bike like black electrical tape on fancy water reservoir (Javy bike)

How do you out this bike in this stage for the world to see for the first time with this issue??? I mean really how is this remotely possible after spending hundreds of hours developing this bike for this to happen? Someone should lose their job over this—not sure if it should be development or marketing as both are equally responsible for this utter disaster.
